Welcome to the Brazos Valley Art League's (BVAL) homepage. BVAL is a visual arts group interested in learning, experiencing, sharing, educating and meeting with others of common interest! For its history information, please visit BVAL's history page. We have a studio for classrooms and the Wednesday Painters at the Art Center, 2275 Dartmouth Street, College Station, TX 77840. One could also check it out on Google's map, or call Art Center at (979) 696-2787. Art Center is the home of Brazos Valley Art League, and it is also the home of Arts Council of Brazos Valley. Judged art shows are held in the center twice a year. We are involved in the selection of artists who will display in the main gallery (often our own BVAL artists). Displays are on a rotating basis.
